Abstract
A reduction in the output of productive assets (trees) in some contingencies may expand the range of risks spanned by the payoffs of assets and allow for better risk sharing; which may compensate for the loss of output and support a Pareto superior allocation. Surprisingly, if short sales of assets are not allowed, improved risk sharing that results from the destruction of output does not suffice to support a Pareto superior allocation.
